Exceptions are not ignored during scans

AVG Anti-Spyware fingers four of my files that I choose to be treated as exceptions. Although I add them to my list of exceptions successfully, they still get fingered everytime I run a scan. Shouldn't my "exceptions" be ignored by AVG Anti-Spyware during subsequent scans, and if not, how do I tell it to ignore them?

Did you put the bullet point in the correct place for excepting by file path?

Or did you leave it in the selection for exception by threat?

If you are excepting by file path you must have the file name and path exactly correct.

Yes. The files are listed in AVG Anti-Spyware's "Exceptions" according to their exact file names and paths. In front of each itemized file path in the list is the word "Ignoring," but none of them are actually ignored during new scans.

A .zip file is an archive and archives are a special case. Generally, you would need to delete the whole archive if you had an infected file inside one. Some apps may be able to be selective and deal with specific files in an archive, but AVs often don't, and probably AVG-AS can't either.

If that is the case then it is logical for AVG-AS to only exclude the whole archive - so I wouldn't call it a bug. But I must leave it to someone from the Company to confirm whether that is the case.
